    The science club charges 4.50 per car at their car wash. Write and solve and inequality to find how many cars they have to wash to earn at least 300

    Let x be the number of cars they wash. Set up our inequality. Note, at least 300 means 300 or greater, so we use greater than or equal to.

    Inequality:
    4.50x >= 300

    So solve for x, divide each side by 4
    x >= 66.67
